    It looks like there is some confusion here. I believe the location 
of the grub.conf is coded into the boot sector.  Perhaps there is 
something wrong with the script that installs grub?

    In any event, it shouldn't hurt anything to re-install Grub running  
grub-install /dev/hda in a terminal (as root of course), you might even 
want to do a linux rescue from an old boot CD, just to eliminate the 
install grub script duplicating the problem.
